unless you have one you'd like to sell to me

And yet there is one probably 5 minutes from your house

Cool Guitar. I was tempted as well. Good to see the new owner enjoying it.

Great guitar for sure.. I sure miss mine..

Sweet score! I had a hankering for a JEL strat so I built one inspired by this one. What's the bridge pickup in there?

[sully]

The original bridge pickups were Custom Customs, actually; the WO called for a Custom, but they chose to ignore that. I swapped the CC out of mine with a Custom (of course). IIRC from the auction, this guitar has a JB in it.

how deeee-licious. i had a GMW one with a San Dimas plate on the back of it. The fretboard
looks awfully dark, almost like ebony, nice acquirement man, happy for you.

I think these are ebony Tommy. In order to get around the "artist similar" limitations.

I believe that, it looks like it to me, my GMW was rosewood. In the end, I'm a maple guy, i don't like rosewood, and i don't like
ebony. It's not that i don't like them, i just played better and got the sound i wanted with maple necks, just my preference that's all.

Yeah, Tommy - this one is ebony although some in the run were rosewood. Personally, I dig ebony!

Ebony is cozy to play, i definitely like it much better than rosewood. are those 6100's on there?
When i start playing again, my next guitars frets are going to be the size of rebar that resides in the cement of a major bridge- lol
I love mondo frets, it's the only way to play.
Steevo, are you playing out right now or just jamming at home?

I got the info from the Charvel USA log on this site. It says that 7837 has a rosewood fretboards. Maybe it's wrong.

Would love a copy of the WO! PM'd

Email sent. As far as the RW board stuff goes, I highly doubt it; the original order was for ebony boards. That was one of the changes made to try to avoid the "artist similar" rule that this run was obviously plagued by.
